That sounds orgasmic.
Shouldn't we make a Skype group?
Can I join this group or not?
@Cold HandsNot necessarily, although they were the main 'players', and would be preferred, I'd also allow 'fringe cultures' such as Makedon, Odrysian Thrace or the Illyrians to be player controlled; as GM I would be handling the Persians, and generally trying to play everyone to my advantage.


I've started a Dark Ages Britain RP.

BIOGRAPHY


Society is separated into freefolk and slaves. Women have almost the same standing as men, and some women fight in the warbands.
At the head of each community is a duke, and several dukes are ruled by the king.

People live in thatch-roof houses, and leaders and kings in mead-halls. They formed after leaving their homeland, which was constantly flooded. They thought it was the end of the world.

The King is more of a first-citizen, there is no feudal system. He is protected by his personal bodyguard the Gesithas.

CULTURE


As a warrior society, people respect generosity, fairness, power and leadership. Leaders are expected to lead at the vanguard in battle, and fight personally. Warriors are bound by oath to their king, and the king is bound by oath to his warriors. Adulthood is reached at 12 and people are expected to live alone at 14. Marriage happens at 12-14 years of age. Most people are farmers all-year-round.

RELIGION


They worship a pantheon of Gods, who they worship through ritual sacrifices of animals, votive offerings, rituals, monoliths and godpoles.

MILITARY STATS


Horses are not used militarily.

1000 men, divided into several ranks. Everyone has a shield, spear and three throwing spears, allowing them to form shieldwalls.

5 siege weapons.

Service is forced for able-bodied men (from 12 to 60 years old) in times of war. In a defense situation, everyone fights.
Also in the UK, sounds good.
How is this historical? It's not even set on Earth.
Can I choose my summoned historical figure?
Hello!

I'm a writer and history enthusiast. My favourite period is the early Dark Ages, but there are virtually no RP's set in this period. In this RP set between 400-600 AD (we can set a date later), you can become any character, be it a warrior or a king. We could limit to one kingdom that every player is part of, if enough people are interested in that system.

SOME EVENTS:
410 AD: The Romans leave Britain
446 AD: A man named Gwortigern rises to power by killing his nephew and taking over his kingdom
459 AD: Gwortigern dies
514 AD: Battle of Mount Badon
530 AD: Battle of Camlann
573 AD: Battle of Arthuret
598 AD: Battle of Catraeth

MAP
An map will be provided when we decide which date to start in.

GAME MECHANICS
To be determined.
